Felix Gonzalez-Torres: America

In 2007, Felix Gonzalez-Torres represented the United States at the Venice Biennale, only the second time in the modern history of the
Venice Biennale that an artist has represented the U.S. posthumously.
Published to accompany this landmark exhibition, Felix Gonzalez-Torres: America
features full-color plates of each of the works presented, including
one that has never before been realized: it is comprised of two
adjoining reflecting pools that form a figure eight, the sign of
infinity--both a silent mirror on our collective culture and a beacon of
hope. Exhibition curator Nancy Spector, Curator of Contemporary Art at
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, provides an introductory
essay on the artist, and curators Amada Cruz, Susanne Ghez and Ann
Goldstein discuss in conversation their proposal of Gonzalez-Torres for
the 1995 Biennale.
